Water resources data, Texas, water year 1986, Volume 1: Arkansas River basin, Red River basin, Sabine River basin, Neches River basin, Trinity River basin, and intervening and adjacent coastal basins
The Water Resources Division of the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with Federal, State, and City agencies, obtains a large amount of data pertaining to the water resources of Texas each water year. Such data, accumulated during many water years, constitute a valuable data base for developing an improved understanding of the water resources of the State. To make these data readily available to interested parties outside the Geological Survey, the data are published annually in three volumes of this report series entitled "Water Resources Data - Texas." This report series includes records of stage, discharge, and water quality of streams and canals; stage, contents, and water quality of lakes and reservoirs. Volume 1 contains records for water discharge at 139 gaging stations; stage only at 5 gaging station; stage and contents at 40 lakes and reservoirs; and water quality at 72 gaging stations. Also included are data for 13 partial-record stations. Additional water data were collected at 2 miscellaneous sites not involved in the systematic data-collection program. The data in this report represent that part of the National Water Data System collected by the U.S. Geological Survey and cooperating City, State, and Federal agencies in Texas.
